What is Cataract Surgery?
A cataract is the clouding of the eye's natural lens, located behind the iris. As the lens becomes progressively opaque, it scatters and blocks light, leading to blurred vision, glare sensitivity, and reduced colour perception. Cataract surgery removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
Dr. Wessam performs micro-incision phacoemulsification — the most advanced and minimally invasive cataract technique — through incisions of under 2.4mm using ultrasonic energy to emulsify and remove the cataract, followed by precise IOL implantation. Premium multifocal and toric IOLs are available to correct distance, intermediate, and near vision simultaneously.
Benefits of Surgery
Restored Clarity
Immediate and dramatic improvement in vision clarity, colour perception, and contrast sensitivity.
Minimally Invasive
Micro-incision technique requires no stitches, minimal discomfort, and rapid recovery within days.
Premium Lens Options
Choose from monofocal, multifocal, or toric IOLs to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses.
Permanent Solution
The artificial lens cannot develop another cataract — results are permanent and life-changing.
Signs You May Need Surgery
- Blurred or cloudy vision not corrected by glasses
- Increased sensitivity to light and glare
- Difficulty driving at night
- Faded or yellowed colours
- Double vision in one eye
- Frequent prescription changes
The Procedure
Pre-surgical Biometry
Precise IOL power calculations using optical biometry and corneal topography for exact lens selection.
Micro-incision Entry
A self-sealing incision under 2.4mm is made. No stitches are needed at any stage of the procedure.
Phacoemulsification
Ultrasonic energy breaks up and aspirates the clouded lens completely through the tiny incision.
IOL Implantation
The folded premium IOL is inserted and unfolds precisely in the lens capsule. Vision improves within 24–48 hours.
